It was bash Teresa Giudice night at The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion but she certainly invited the abuse. THG breaks it all down in our + or – review … Jacqueline Laurita bowed out of the event. Minus 5 . I always thought the players were contractually obligated to show up for these things, even when they all hated one another and looked like fools at the end. But it looked like Bravo let her slide. The turmoil had something to do with Teresa and an event that took place in season four which was currently being filmed. I suppose that’s more reason to tune in next season. Caroline earned a Plus 12 when she admitted she was mean to Melissa and Kathy Waklie at the start of the season. She had judged them on what Teresa had told her before ever having met them. That was unfair but at least she owned up to it. Teresa still swore what she wrote in her cookbook was nothing but a joke. She won’t say which of her three sister in laws she was insulting and sees nothing wrong with throwing out barbs about Caroline’s son. Minus 8 . There was nothing funny in what she wrote and she can’t see anyone’s opinion but her own. We had to sit through yet one more showing of the christening debacle. Minus 5 . I hope to never have to watch that nonsense again. At least the housewives had the decency to lapse into stunned silence after it was shown. Melissa Gorga earned a Plus 10 for admitting that her husband helped escalate the fight. That’s progress. Another Plus 10 to Joe Gorga who supposedly told Caroline he regretted his actions and knew he was going to get a public beating after it was shown. Of course Caroline was blunt as ever and agreed with him. When asked, Kathy said that Teresa and Joe Gorgas’ tempers were acceptable. That they’re just passionate people. Bull. Minus 11 . They’re adults who should know better than to scream, curse, and throw things like foul mouthed toddlers having a tantrum. I don’t mean to be the grammar nazi but what is with the “yous”? Listening to the Housewives families speak was like watching My Cousin Vinny week after week. Minus 10 . I almost couldn’t believe that Teresa Giudice could tell Melissa she wasn’t a good wife because she didn’t invite herself to the premiere party while she was in the hospital with a newborn, then went on to accuse her of marrying Joe for his money and followed it up by saying Melissa was the one ruining things. “We’re in a good place. Why are you going back there?” Does the woman not listen to what she says. She’s the one who was dragging out past history. Minus another 10 . Did anyone else get the feeling that Teresa’s completely clueless about her family’s legal and financial troubles or that bankruptcy fraud could end them up in federal prison? Her “call my lawyer” response to Andy was the smartest thing she said all night. Plus 8 . Plus 15 to Caroline Manzo who called the entire conversation a “whirlwind of stupid.” Yup. That about sums it up. We’ll be back for part two next week. In the meantime, here’s where the points land … EPISODE TOTAL : +6 . SEASON TOTAL: -68 .
